Here is how we build the community RPMs:

* Fetch patches and spec files from SVN. For example:

http://svn.pgrpms.org/browser/rpm/redhat/9.2/postgresql/EL-6/

* Add any patches to spec file:

http://svn.pgrpms.org/browser/rpm/redhat/9.2/postgresql/EL-6/postgresql-9.2.spec#L89

* Build the RPM.

You can add your own patches, and build your own RPMs like this.
